[Ponte Alto] MD RenFest was: (no subject)

[Kevin of Thornbury]

Though it's been a LONG time since I went to RenFest, I frequently  
attended in "garb".  Of course, at the time it was medieval-oid stuff  
that I wouldn't wear today.  (Except for perhaps the mail hauberk.   
Well, not the one I wore at the time, my current one is more [though  
not perfectly] authentic.)  In any case, were I to go again (and wear  
garb), I'd wear garb appropriate for the time period and place, which  
for the MD RenFest is early 16th century England.  The problem with  
wearing my early-to-middle Tudor garb is that I'm both large and tall  
and people would assume I was portraying Henry VIII.  (Especially  
since my sister - who is a die hard, consummate Rennie - says that the  
current Henry VIII at MD is quite bad.)

I'm in a writing mood today; forgive the rambling.
